Limb & Eye Dominance

This limb dominance discussion was compiled from a discussion on the Tracker mailing list starting on July 29/98.
This is the record of a discussion about limb dominance
. The beginnings were on the "Tracker" listserve (now defunct) that was made up largely of Tracker School students (taught by Tom Brown Jr). Tom has many theories and teachings about tracking that are so divergent from other trackers that the "discussions" about these theories certainly become heated!
I have edited out much of the discussion that deviated away from the primary topic. Aside from that, all posts are unedited, as they appeared on the list. A gentleman who goes by the name "Thorny Bastard" originally brought up the subject.
Since the original discussion took place, several people have contributed further to the discussion, and expanded upon it. These are presented in the "Addendum".

There are also are a few articles on eye dominance, contributed by Paul Vallandigham.
